I’m jealous of those relationships where the parents are all for teenage love. Growing up in a traditional Asian family has shown me the drastic differences between forbidden love and all-for-it love. You see, I wish just for once I could fall in love with someone without sneaking around my parents. I wish I didn’t have to lie just to spend time with someone I really care about. For once, I wish that my parents could see how valuable teenage love could be without being such realists. True, odds are, teenage love doesn’t last, but I’m not interested in finding “the one” as much as I am in finding people I can learn from and grow with. Some parents don’t see the potential of growth one finds in such a blind relationship.
And then there are those parents that are like Regina George’s “cool mom” who pop their heads into your room while you’re making out with your significant other asking if you’d like a condom. Just kidding. But honestly, I have friends that pay for the hotel rooms after Prom because they trust their children won’t do anything stupid.
I don’t even want that. I just want parents who invite my boyfriend over for dinner. I want them to include him into the family, and make jokes with him, and I want them to show him my baby pictures, and let me see him every weekend, and act as if he is one of their own. Honestly, I just want a relationship where I don’t have to worry about planning what time I’ll sneak out. Why can’t love be as simple as first grade math?
RELEVANT.
This. Real talk.
I honestly love this.

What does being in a “Relationship” mean to me?
People ask me this question all the time, in my opinion being a relationship means playing your part instead of letting one person carry all of the responsibilities, that meaning being there for them and not walking away when things don’t go as you planned them to be because you understand that no matter who’s relationship it is it’s not going to be 100% perfect, you know? When in a relationship you need to take responsibility of your actions, when you mess up don’t blame it on your significant other, no that you messed up and work together to work towards a resolve that makes both of you happy. not just one person, Remember compromise works wonders. When I am in a relationship my significant other’s happiness is my priority so I would do whatever it may take to make them genuinely smile and be happy, do you know why? When you two are happy your path become clearer. As for arguments and fights, know that they are mere stepping stones to building a stronger and lasting relationship, but only if two people are willing to talk things out peacefully instead of argue with one another over frivolous issues because as you both begin to talk things out with one another you begin to understand things from their point of view, you begin to see why they feel or do the things they do and when you understand that you know more about your girlfriend of boyfriend which in return builds a stronger and more understanding relationship. This is my opinion, so see it as you may see fit.

My mom only had one eye. I hated her, She was such an embarrassment. She cooked for students and teachers to support the family.
There was this one day during elementary school where my mom came to say hello to me. I was so embarrassed. How could she do this to me? I ignored her, threw her a hateful look and ran out. The next day at school one of my classmates said, ‘EEEE, your mom only has one eye!’
I wanted to bury myself. I also wanted my mom to just disappear. I confronted her that day and said, “If you’re only gonna make me a laughing stock, why don’t you just die?”
My mom did not respond. I didn’t even stop to think for a second about what I had said, becauseI was full of anger. I was oblivious to her feelings. I wanted out of that house, and have nothing to do with her. So I studied real hard, got a chance to go abroad to study.
Then, I got married. I bought a house of my own. I had kids of my own. I was happy with my life, my kids and the comforts. Then one day, my Mother came to visit me. She hadn’t seen me in years and she didn’t even meet her grandchildren.
When she stood by the door, my children laughed at her, and I yelled at her for coming over uninvited. I screamed at her, “How dare you come to my house and scare my children! GET OUT OF HERE! NOW!” And to this, my mother quietly answered, “Oh, I’m so sorry. I may have gotten the wrong address,” and she disappeared out of sight.
One day, a letter regarding a school reunion came to my house. So I lied to my wife that I was going on a business trip. After the reunion, I went to the old shack just out of curiosity. My neighbors said that she died. I did not shed a single tear. They handed me a letter that she had wanted me to have.
My dearest son,
I think of you all the time. I’m sorry that I came to your house and scared your children. I was so glad when I heard you were coming for the reunion. But I may not be able to even get out of bed to see you. I’m sorry that I was a constant embarrassment to you when you were growing up.
You see, when you were very little, you got into an accident, and lost your eye. As a mother, I couldn’t stand watching you having to grow up with one eye. So I gave you mine.
I was so proud of my son who was seeing a whole new world for me, in my place, with that eye. With all my love to you.
- Your mother.

don’t be surprised if she gets mad when you hang out with another girl. Especially if your girlfriend thinks she’s pretty. No matter how hard you try to convince her that she’s just a friend she’ll still feel uncomfortable about the whole situation because she wants you all to herself. Maybe not all girlfriends will complain about it but even if she says it doesn’t care there’s a good chance she’s 1% bothered by it at the least.

We get jealous, we will hate that mother fucker who spams your facebook, we tend to assume things, our imaginations go wild. Every second you take to reply, thousands of things goes through our heads ; who are you talking to? Is it that bitch? We start assuming, and this is when we get insecure. But then.. we’ll try comfort ourselves, we’ll think back to our conversations and make ourself believe you aren’t that type of guy. So don’t disappoint us.

>That’s when you know he cares. He cares because he lost you over one stupid little thing. Not all guys are the same, some are douches & won’t give a single fuck if he just got dumped. But when a guy cries over you, over your relationship ending.. you have a keeper.. so don’t fuck it up even more. Take the opportunity & show him that you care too. It’s not always the guys who fucks up, it’s the girls also.

I wished my parents let me have a relationship. I honestly hate hiding it from them. I have to lie and make excuses just to see my significant other. And when you run out of excuses, you don’t know how else to see them. Eventually, if the relationship isn’t strong enough, it crumbles down. The worst part is, either your parents find out, and you get in to big trouble. Or, your significant other, stops trying to hide the relationship and eventually leave.

Bestfriends. That’s how we started off. I remember every single time I was available to hangout, you’d take that chance to be with me. Boyfriend problems? You were right there, trying to help me out. People talking shit? You were always the one defending me. You have done everything in your power to keep me happy, whether we were together or not. You have no idea how much that means to me. It’s funny, not that long passed by and I already ended up falling for you so hard. I remember you had a ‘thing’ with someone at the time and I was so jealous. Everytime you talked about her, I’d die a little inside. I wanted to be her. One day, you came to my house and she wanted to cam with you. I remember you giving my brother the webcam so he could talk to her & spent the whole time with me. You wouldn’t even pick up her phone calls. It didn’t even occur to me why you would do that. I didn’t care because the time spent with you, I’d never been happier. A week later we had this long conversation on Facebook. I wanted to tell you I liked you, but I was so scared. I was being hesitant the whole night. You knew what I was trying to say so finally, you gave up. “Holy shit. I like you”. That’s what started us off. You dropped who you were talking to & became mine. All mine. I couldn’t be any happier. The next few weeks were amazing. We went out on dates, almost every single day. We have been through so much in these few months. Everyday is spent with each other. I am so thankful to have you in my life. Thank you for everything you’ve done for me.
